The NBA season is full of ups and downs, and identifying value in player prop markets is one of the best ways to stay profitable. We’ve analyzed the matchups, trends, and recent form to bring you the best NBA prop bets for March 17, 2025.
Today, we’re locking in three key plays featuring Tobias Harris, Bam Adebayo, and Fred VanVleet. Each of these players is in a favorable spot to exceed their respective prop lines based on recent performances and season-long stats. Let’s dive into the top picks for tonight’s action.
Tobias Harris Over 5.5 Total Rebounds vs. Pelicans
Harris has been a reliable force on the boards, and this line sits in a very manageable range. He has cleared this number in five of his last five games and is averaging 6.1 rebounds per game this season. The Pelicans are an aggressive team in the paint, but that also means more rebounding opportunities for Harris, who has been active on both ends of the floor.
Bam Adebayo Over 3.5 Total Assists vs. Knicks
Adebayo’s playmaking has been an underrated part of Miami’s offense, and this number looks like a solid value. He has gone over 3.5 assists in two of his last five games and is averaging 4.3 assists per game this season. The Knicks defense is stingy, but they allow ball movement, giving Adebayo plenty of chances to rack up assists in a high-paced matchup.
Fred VanVleet Over 12.5 Total Points vs. 76ers
VanVleet has been a consistent scoring option for Houston, averaging 14.3 points per game this season. His outside shooting and ability to create his own shot make this a great line to target. He’s cleared this number in multiple games, and with the 76ers focusing on other scoring threats, VanVleet should have plenty of chances to hit this mark tonight.
